Jonathan Green tells the amazing story of how Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone’s The Warlock of Firetop Mountain sparked a revolution as the brilliant first ever adventure game book.

32 years after the first publication and after selling 17million copies it’s a Retro-cult that continues to have a far reaching influence on young people’s reading habits.

As Charlie Higson said: 'A publishing phenomenon without which computer games wouldn't be what they are today. About time these books were celebrated.'

The History of Firetop Mountain author talks about how he came to write You Are The Hero – his Kickstarter funded history of Fighting Fantasy game books and the pitfalls he encountered along the way.
